Dance Performance Project


In a group, you are to create a dance which will be performed in front of the class. You can choose any type of music (must be approved by the teacher) and dance any type of dance. If you are having difficulty deciding on a style with your group, why not mix it up? Have everyone input a few moves that the would like to do and combine them to make your dance. This way, you will not only be teaching others moves that you want to do, or know, but will be learning ones that may be out of your comfort zone.


Each group must dance together for at least 2 minutes. Solo dances are optional and would be in addition to the 2 minutes done with the group.
